Food for the Sick.

A fish pudding is a nice way to reserve
the remains of any cooked fish. To two
tablespoonful of fish, cut small, add one
of bread crumbs; the latter to be soaked
a little in warm milk, then strained and
beaten fine. Add beaten egg and a lit
tie salt, pour into buttered cup, cover
with piece of white paper buttered, and
steam half an hour. The water should
only reach half way up the cup, and
should not boil too fast, or the egg will
become more hardened than is desirable.
Salmon, cells, mackerel and behring's,
being oily, are unsuitable for invalids.
A few words on beaf-tea, or our paper
will be incomplete.
It used to be looked upon as sign of
goodness if beef-tea "jellied" when cold.
This is an error. No good beef-tea can
possibly Jelly" for this reason-it must
not, or rather should not, be made from
gelatinous parts of the beef. Shin of
beef is suitable to make stock for clear
soup, but that is another matter. If shin
be used at all, it ought to be the top,
where thick piece of meat can be cut;
but other parts are better-the round, or
the roll of the bIadebone. Ask the
butcher for lean, tender steak; cut it as
if it were to be cooked as steak, and ex
ercise the same care IN the selection, and
the patient will reap the benefit. Now, as
as to the mode of making the tea; it is
mistake to cut the beef i'll large
pieces, or to let it boil for a single
minute. Scrape the meat, finely, and
put it in jar of cold water, with pinch
of salt, to soak for an hour, or more if
convenient then tie it down with paper
over the mouth, and set the jar in a
saucepan of cold water; bring this to the
boil, and let the water simmer two or
three hours lin the saucepan we mean,)
and then strain off the tea; not through
fine strainer-nothing should be left be-
hind but the meat; the brown, thick-look-
ing particles that float about contain
nutriment. Now, as long as anything is
cooked in vessel set in another, the con-
tents of the inner one cannot boil; this
in the case of beef-tea, is as it should be.
The quantity of water must be regulated
by the strength required, but pint to
pound is about the average.

An Exciting Episode.

According to the San Francisco Call,
the thought of bequeathing money for a
monument to Francis s. Key first came to
the late James Lick while attending a
theatrical performance in that city. 1t
was in the early days of the Rebellion,
when public sentiment in California was
divided between the North and the South.
The orchestra began to play "The Star
Spangled Banner" and the stirring me-
lody was almost unheard for short time
in the kissing of portion of the audience.
The loyal portion of the spectators broke
out in turn in vociferous applause, and
predominated to such an extent as to
check and cheer out Of all hearing the
ilI-timed manifestations of displeasure
preceding them. This episode made
deep impression upon james Lick, and
he resolved that the author of the song
should be honored on the Pacific coast in
a manner in which his native State, Mary
land, and her principal city, Baltimore,
had then and have since failed to do.

Science Of Rail Splitting.

Almost any farm hand can split rails,
but there is considerable science to he OBJ
served in the work. One man will rive
them with ease, while another equally as
stout will tug away and soon exhaust his
strength, with comparative small results.
The reason of this great disparity is in
knowing how to apply the tools. But con-
siderable advantage may be derived by an
expert hand in having suitable tools. Tho
best maui to be used is made of knot,
and should be of medium weight, not too
heavy to swing with ease. One iron
wedge, quite slim, should be kept and
used for starting the split; it is not apt to
rebound, and if it should, it may be easily
prevented by making a few checks with
an axe near together, and starting tho
wedge between them, or by rubbing the
wedge in dirt.-Planters' Journal.
A Cow in Camp.
One day when Johnston's army was IN
Mississippi the soldiers noticed very
meek looking cow tied to tree right IN
the middle of tho camps. They thought
nothing unusual was the matter, how
ever. That night 80, 900 men "turned in"
and went to sleep, little dreaming that inc
old COW was going to disturb anybody.
About midnight some practical 1oSers
tied brushy limb to the cows tail and
gave her start in life. She did not dis
appoint the expectations of her friends: but
made wild dash through the darkness,
trampling over the sleeping soldiers and
dragging the brush over their prostrate
forms The howls and yells that followed
in their wake added to her terrGr, and
faster and faster she went until she had
run over the biggest part of Johnston's
army. To add to the confusion, nobody
knew exactly what was the matter. 1he
only thing anybody did know was that q
wide streak Of profanity was running
through camp in a zigzag fashion. put
only the practical jokcrs could guess the
cause. Next Gay there was q big demand
for sticking plaster.-Atlanta Constitute

We regret very much that Gov
ernor Lowry has seen ft to attempt
to yindicate himself in the manner
he has adopted. There is not, we
venture to say, a paper in Mississip-
pi that has criticised the Governor
but would have gladly opened its
columns for free and friendly dis
cussion Of the matter But the
Governor has exhibited the weak
ness Of his case by selecting a meth
cd of his own choosing, a Iaethod
in which he can assail without be-
ing assailed, a method upon which
he can do battle on just such ground
as be may sec fit, and going only as
far as may serve his purpose-ad-
vancing and retreating as best suits
his purpose. 1t seems especially
ill-becoming in the chief magistrate
to speak of those who have felt il
a duty to criticise him as "deprav-
ed wretches who drag their Shiny
forms across the paths Of gentle
men. :" He will have enough to do
to clear his own skirts before the
people of Mississippi, without try
ing to convince them that such men
as ]. B. Gambrell, B. T. Hobbs,
Jno. Anderson, Frank Burkitt,
John Martin and others are deprav-
cd wretches. As we said at the out
set, we regret very much the course
the Governor has taken. We have
hoped all along that be would come
clear of any suspicion that seemed
to rest against him, but we must
confess that the speech he delivered
at Vicksburg has not tended to
strengthen this hope. 1t was bad
enough that the papers that openly
defended the present State admins
tration should be the very ones that
condoned the blacklist crime IN all
the States history, but when he es-
says to publicly stigmatize a man
like Frank Burkitt who has reeeiv
ed the solid endorsement of the peo-
pie Of his county, or Of J. B. Gam
brell than whom there is not a
purer Christian or more honorable
gentlemen in all the great State, it
is time for thinking men to stop
and consider ifthe Governor is net
guilty as charged. We want it I'M
derstood that the Governor did not
call any names but simply referred
to "those that have been pursueing
me" We do not believe the Gov
ernor will accomplish anything by
his ex parte showing, and we are
sure he will lose east when be at
facts the best men of our State
press as he did in his Vlcksburg
speech WinoRq Times.

Gov. Lowry in his Meridian
speech on Wednesday, gave some
statistics which will surprise many
who have never given the subject
of the State Revenue much atten-
ton. He gives a list Of forty-six
counties with accompanying figures
to show they have actually received
more from the State than they have
paid INTO the Treasury. Among
them is Noxubee which he has
rated as follows:

Meeting of Congress.

The 50th Congress of the United States
assent led at 12 O'Clock last Monday. AS
the message of the President was not pre-.
scented on that day, We are unable to give
any notice of it in this issue as we had
hoped and expected to do. The proceedings
of the first day did not excite the interest
that was generally anticipated, as there
were not the contests for the admission Of
some of the members as was expected. We
give the editorial notice of the Bait. Sun OF
the proceedings
The seating OF Senator Turpie without OBJ
lection relieved the minds of Democratic
congressman of great deal of disquietude.
Objection was made to the seating OF Mr.
Faulkner, of West Virginia, but inasmuch
as in the event of the rejection CT his claim
the seat would still be occupied by Dem
ocrat, there was no party feeling excited
by this action. Til initial proceedings in
the House were enlivebed by crank who
from a coign of vantage in the gallery
started Salvation Army hymn, which he
sang with good voice till elected by a
doorkeeper.

Prohibition Checked.

Under the above heading, the Lynchburg
Neacs, in speaking of the defeat Of prohibit
tion in Atlanta, Ca, says that 'there can
be no question of the fact but that this de-
feat is serious disaster to the cause OF
prohibition in the South 1t may not be its
Waterloo, but it is certainly its Liepsic-
Atlanta has been regarded as the very
citadel Of the cold water advocates; and if
many p,ore such reYelses are encountered
prohibition will be ultimately done for, The
causes that conduced to the defeat of the
issue in the metropolis of the Empire State
of the South were various; but one of the
strongest obstacles in the way of prohibi-
ton succeas was the ability of the whiskey
interests to control and manipulate the put
cl.asable element Of the voting population
1t is due to the truti, to state that, whether
the better element ef society followed the
lead of the chmches and preachers, and
voted against return to the system of IL
cense. The campaign was characterized
by passionate gersonai ABUSE, the methods
employed doing vioience to the peass and
fraternity Of common citizenship, and
leaving scars and discussions that may new
err be healed. We sincerely trust that Vir-
ginia may be spared such spectacle as
that presented in Atlanta for the last eight
weeks; and we believe that, if the General
Assembly at it's ensuing session will be
guided py prudent eounsels, and enact
high license law as supplemented TO the
local option statute, we shall escape the
shame and misfortune of such q contest
High license and local option eoniolned is
the proper remedy for the abuses and ex-
cesses Of the traffic and indulgence n liquor,
and this We have always maintained. High
license largely increases the revenue and
almost propQrtiop2ts,y decreases lha num-
Der of saloons. The Virginia Assembly
ought to pass such law by all means"

j. appears that Foraker was not SO popular

vote was 5,410 less than that Of the next

cate that the blpody-shirt is not SO popular
